blubaja Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks! I'll be gluing those door shut, right away:/ These features on the delicate bodies are more trouble than good. The plastic is never sturdy enough to keep the bodies straight:/
Bennyg Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Wow. Revell is stepping up. I reckon the Porsche 918 will be awesome. Ben
ferrarijoe Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks! I'll be gluing those door shut, right away:/ These features on the delicate bodies are more trouble than good. The plastic is never sturdy enough to keep the bodies straight:/ agree Revell plastic seems soft. Never have problems with Tamiya plastic when it comes to doors. Don't know what the difference is between them. Hope more BMW kits are coming.
jaymcminn Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Wait, are my eyes deceiving me or is RoG finally abandoning those stupid wheels with the brake disc sandwiched between two sets of spokes? I'm definitely picking one of these up. There are at least three of them in town here already... if you think they look good in pictures it's nothing compared to how they look in person.

Motor City Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 My ophthalmologist bought the real thing in blue. I think they start at $136,000 something. I just saw it yesterday.
Luc Janssens Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Who needs this model ? Nobody The greenies?! It's the German Tesla, so who know how this kit will perform, maybe even BMW picked up the check, but whatever the reason, there are people who will welcome this kit, so let them have their joy.

Luc Janssens Posted June 13, 2015 Author Posted June 13, 2015 It looks like this kit is ready to be sold... Instruction sheet, via link below.... http://www.revell.de/fileadmin/import/images/bau/07008_%23BAU_BMW_I8.PDF more product info.... http://www.revell.de/en/products/model-building/cars/modern-cars/id/07008.html
Matt Bacon Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Well, I'm certainly going to get one. Fantastic car, IMHO. The nice folks at Evo really like it, as well. It's not quite a Tesla S, but it's the future, and BMW have built it and got it on the road. bestest, M.
Rob Hall Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) I'm looking forward to it..it's a very strange and futuristic design, I like it after seeing them up close in person...seen a couple around Scottsdale. Edited June 13, 2015 by Rob Hall
Tonioseven Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I spoke with a guy that recently bought a real one. The car looks fantastic to me!! I want a kit of it!!
Jon Cole Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Jeez. You guys that live.... in "populated" areas, get to see all the cool stuff right away. We rarely see anything high end around here. All the old money here drives Volvos. Although the yellow Aventador I saw this past weekend in Nashua was an eye popper. Don't know when I will see an i8 around here. BTW, nice yellow one currently on page 2 of "1:1 Car Reference Pictures" Edited June 16, 2015 by Jon Cole
martinfan5 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Its been released in Japan as of today, and I think its already out in Europe
Exotics_Builder Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Instructions are online at RoG's website. I got my hands on a test shot missing "glass" and decal sheet (which I am trying to get) if anyone needs any detail photos of anything.

Bennyg Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 i wonder how well the i8 will build up? The instructions make it look good. Ben
